NEW YORK French corporate raider Vincent Bolloré has upped his stake in Aegis Group to more than 8 percent, according to statements posted today on the Bolloré Group and Aegis Web sites.
Bolloré Group confirmed a purchase in the last two days of 18 million shares. (Bolloré is also chairman of Havas, but his Aegis investments are being made through a separate company.)
News of the additional share purchase came a day after Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Lévy said during an interview at New York’s Advertising Week that Publicis was interested in Aegis, but a deal was not imminent.
